You can trace the linkage of stories with a test case. You can view which Jira stories are linked to a test case.

Note:

  • For a company-managed project, users should have Jira Browse Projects and Create Issues permissions to link stories to test case.

Steps:
1. Open the test case detail page in QMetry for the Jira add-on.

2. Open the Story tab. It shows the list of stories to which the current test case is associated. You also select a particular version in the drop-down to see linkage with stories.
